Cop31 host urges rich nations to spend more on climate than defence
Original: Cop31 host urges wealthy countries to spend ‘much more’ on climate than defence
The country set to host the Cop31 climate summit is calling on wealthy nations to devote 'much more' of their budgets to climate action than to defence spending. The appeal comes as governments worldwide raise military budgets amid geopolitical tensions, drawing criticism from climate advocates who argue that diverting funds undermines global efforts to cut emissions and adapt to warming.
Why now: Rising global defence spending is colliding with demands for climate finance, making the host's call timely and contentious.
